That post has nothing in common with programming or even computers but I was so excited when I discover things I want to write about that 140 chars of twitter wasn't enough for me.

  • Mean distance from Milky Way 26,000ly
  • Galactic period 226.000.000 years

  • Unicode of Sun symbol - 2609
  • Distance from Milky Way Equator - 26ly
  • Speed 260 km/s
  • Conversion rate of mass-energy 4.26 million metric tons per second
  • Mean mass loss in energy 26,732MeV
  • Total mass loss 6,5x10^26
